Mayim Bialik, 39, played a young Bette Midler in Beaches, starred in the early ’90s sitcom Blossom and for four seasons has played Sheldon Cooper’s whip-smart girlfriend, Amy Farrah Fowler, on the CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory, airing Thursday nights.

How is Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper) as an acting partner?He’s fantastic. He’s very professional. He gives a lot of room for trying new things. He’s very meticulous, which I am as well, so that’s great.

You have a doctorate in neuroscience. Does it make playing Amy easier?It makes memorizing some of the harder terminology easier.

Is it true that you unwind by cleaning?I clean my own toilets and change the cat litter. I was part of the Holistic Moms Network before I was back on TV and I learned a lot of cleaning tips from them. It exists to exchange information about ways to keep your family clean, healthy and safe without using chemicals.

You wrote Mayim’s Vegan Table, a vegan cookbook. Do you stick to it?I’m not super-strict. We all have our moments when we just break down and get our kids french fries because it’s easier.

What do you like to do when you’re not working?I’m not really a hobby person. I work a lot and I’m with my kids a lot. I like hiking. I’m pretty domestic. I like sewing. I just took up Mahjong and I’m very musical; I play piano and bass guitar. I just started learning harmonica.
